“Science should matter to us not only because it helps us to control parts of the world, but also because is shows us things that we will -never- master. [...] Nightly - perhaps after the main news
bulletin and before the celebrity quiz - we might observe a moment of silence in order to contemplate the 200 to 400 billion stars in our galaxies and the 3 septillion stars in the universe. [...] majestically unaware of everything we are and consolingly unaffected by all that tears us apart.”
― Religion for Atheists: A Non-Believer's Guide to the Uses of Religion

“A man is born upon the banks of the Indus,
where there is none to tell of Christ
And no one to read or write about him;
And all his inclination and his actions,
As far as human reason sees, are good;
He is without sin in word or deed.
He dies unbaptised and without faith:
Where is the justice in condemning him?
Is it his fault, if he does not believe?”
― The Divine Comedy: Dante Alighieri

“Belittling others is no pastime for those convinced of their own standing. There is terror behind haughtiness. It takes a punishing impression of our own inferiority to leave others feeling that they aren’t good enough for us.”

“Want de confrontatie ermee betekende aanvaarding, en dat was de eerste stap naar de dag dat de pijn zou ophouden en de warme herinneringen zouden beginnen.”

“Wanneer was iemand zichzelf? Als hij was als altijd? Zoals hij zichzelf zag? Of zoals het was wanneer de gloeiende lava van de gedachten en gevoelens alle leugens, maskers en zelfbedrog onder zich begroef? Vaak waren het de anderen die erover klaagden dat iemand niet meer zichzelf was. Misschien betekende dat dan in werkelijkheid: hij is niet meer zoals we hem graag hadden? Was het allemaal uiteindelijk dus niet veel meer dan een soort strijdkreet tegen een dreigende ingrijpende verandering van de dingen waarmee je vertrouwd bent geweest, gecamoufleerd als verdriet en bezorgdheid om het zogenaamde welzijn van de ander?”
